 This tool automatically creates the file structure, and if you use the start_pentest option populates the markdown note files with the templates I use.  
 
-For example if I get a new internal pentest engagement for client 3 but it hasn't started yet I'll start by creating the folder and note structure using option 4 in the menu system. This would create the folder structure and notes templates in the /home/pyro/pentests/upcomming/client3/internal_pentest and /home/pyro/notes/upcomming/client3/internal_pentest folders respectively. It does not create the distrobox or add it to the tracked project list yet.
+For example if I get a new internal pentest engagement for client 3 but it hasn't started yet I'll start by creating the folder and note structure using option 4 in the menu system. This would create the folder structure and notes templates in the /home/pyro/pentests/upcomming/client3/internal_pentest and /home/pyro/notes/upcomming/client3/internal_pentest folders respectively. It does not create the distrobox, but it does add it to the list of tracked projects, with a status of upcomming.
 
-Once the engagement starts I'd run option 6 "import new project - and set up new distrobox" from the menu system. It will ask if you have an existing folder structure to copy over, since I created that structure before with option 4 I would answer y, yes, or anything with the letter y in it. Then it prompts you to past the path to the folders to copy over. Here I browse to /home/pyro/pentests/upcomming in dolphin. I right click on the client3 folder and select "copy path" and then paste that into the terminal. I repeat this process for the notes folder.
+Once the engagement starts I'd run option 9 to promote a project from upcomming status to current status. This will automatically copy the needed files over, and will clean up the empty directory in the upcomming files directory, but the empty folder in the upcomming notes folder is still not cleaning correctly, I'm working on that.
 
-It then attempts to guess the client name and project name based on the folder structure, and asks you to confirm. If its correct the project object will be created, the folders will be copied, and a new distrobox will be set up. If it is not correct it will prompt you to correct it, then copy the files, create a new project object, and setup a new distrobox.  At the moment it is not very fault tollerant and will fail if there is an existing folder with the same name. I plan to fix that later, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Once the distro box is set up (this takes a while) it will return you to the main menu.
+It then will create a new distrobox and ask you if you need to set up cobalt strike for the project. if so it'll ask you for the path to your cobalt strike, it'll copy that into the project files folder so that you can run it if needed.
 
 During the test I use the menu system to spawn new terminals in the distrobox created for the engagement, use the various file generation options to get data in easily usable format for attack operations, etc.

+# planned features
+1.) finish hash cracking with a dedictated cracking rig code.
+
+2.) cracte hash cracking with current computer code.
+
+
+4.) create code that moves projects to a "writing" state and folder.
+
+5.) create code that tracks "current, upcomming, and writing" states, maybe automatic zipping of folders after writing is done?
+    upcoming and current are done, but need to add writing yet...
+
+# Unplanned, but would be cool
+1.) create a "server" and "Client" infrastructure that can help manage the distrobox clients and the main server
+
+2.) maybe expand this server client model to interact with cracking rigs and what not.
+
+3.) implment a function to searchsploit and copy wanted exploits to the project folder.
+
+4.) implement a function to execute those copied exploits.
+
+5.) add a "client" model for compromised internal hosts, this would likely need to be a server from a networking perspective that listens on 127.0.0.1 and then have the main interface connect to that over a proxy to run jobs. a good starting point would be to run some of our enumeration commands and scripts and save the output to the notes directly.
+
+6.) add the ability to interact with the cobalt strike beacons... would need to learn agressor script... what a pain...
+
+
+# NOTE
+if you wish to contribute, please do! just fix a bug or implement any of the above features and make a pull request!! 
+
+I'll keep plugging away as I have time throughout my days as well.
